"This," Shui Xiang's expression showed hesitation.
"Shui Xiang, I also believe you are innocent. As the owner of such a large gambling stone business, you certainly wouldn't wear fake items to my wedding."
Ali said, "However, if Boss Du says so, if you don't take it off, everyone will think you're guilty."
"Boss Shui, please take it off and show everyone," Luofu said again.
Shui Xiang hesitated again, looking at Li Yang. Seeing him nod slightly, she then nodded and said, "Alright, let everyone see then."
"That's more like it. Don't worry, Shui Xiang, we are good friends, and I will definitely believe you." Ali's lips curved into a smile, and she reached out to help her remove the jewelry.
Shui Xiang shook her head and said, "It's okay, I can do it myself."
Saying that, she took off a bracelet and held it high.
Under the lights, the jade bracelet looked crystal clear, exceptionally beautiful and dazzling, captivating the heart.
Many people's eyes couldn't help but flicker with strange light. "Is this a fake?"
"No way?"
"It looks very real!"
"Boss Du, did you make a mistake?"
"This, this." Boss Du's face changed several times, and he hurriedly looked at Luofu and Ali.
Even if he wasn't an expert in appraising jade, the current state of this jade bracelet, no matter how you looked at it, didn't seem like a fake.
What was going on!
Ali and Luofu were also stunned. How could this happen!
"You didn't give her the fake bracelet?" Luofu's expression changed slightly, and he questioned in a low voice.
Ali immediately said, "I definitely gave it to her. Look at the style she's wearing; it's the set I gave her before."
"She shouldn't have swapped them either."
"Then what's going on?" Luofu gritted his teeth and asked.
Ali's face was a little ugly. "I, how would I know? I don't understand jade. Perhaps in the set of jade you prepared for me, one bracelet happened to be genuine, and you overlooked it. That's also possible."
"Then why aren't you having her take off the other items quickly?" Luofu gritted his teeth. Damn it, such a mistake actually happened.
Ali quickly stepped forward and said, "What a beautiful bracelet! It's definitely not a fake."
"However, Shui Xiang, just one bracelet, Boss Du certainly won't be convinced. Why don't you take off a few more items and let everyone see?"
"Okay." Shui Xiang readily agreed, but her heart grew colder. She hadn't expected that her good friends of many years would set such a malicious trap for her upon meeting again!
If it weren't for Li Yang's extensive knowledge and intelligence, who had seen through this deceptive scheme early on, she would probably be unable to explain herself and become a target for everyone's attacks!
Shui Xiang quickly took off a pair of earrings, several jade rings, and a jade necklace.
These items also shone with bright and moving luster under the lights. Some people couldn't help but weigh them in their hands and found the feel to be very real, unlike imitations.
"It must be that Boss Du's eyes were playing tricks on him. These ornaments, whether in color, clarity, or feel, are definitely jade."
"This red jade ring, its color is vibrant and natural, with no trace of being artificially heated. Boss Du, did you make a mistake?"
"Boss Du, you can't just accuse people out of the blue."
"I, I already said that I might have been seeing things. It was Mr. and Mrs. Luo who insisted I say it." Boss Du, seeing everyone looking at him and accusing him, his face changed several times. He couldn't stand it anymore and shifted the blame to Luofu and Ali.
Unfortunately, neither of them was easy to deal with.
Luofu immediately said, "I apologize, Boss Du. It was our fault earlier for making you speak your mind."
"Oh, Mr. Luo, you shouldn't say that. It's clearly Boss Du's eyes that are the problem. You are warm and hospitable, and there's nothing wrong with that."
The crowd immediately spoke up for him, becoming even more displeased with Boss Du. "Boss Du, you're really lacking in character!"
"Exactly! If your own eyes are bad, just admit it and apologize to Boss Shui. Saying something like that is truly demeaning."
"Utterly ridiculous!"
"I, I!" Boss Du's face turned red with anger, but he was helpless.
Luofu said, "Alright everyone, it's just a misunderstanding. I believe Boss Du's intentions are not bad."
"Boss Du traveled a long way to attend our wedding, he must be tired, which is why his eyes were playing tricks on him."
"Why don't you go and rest for a while?"
"Okay, okay." Boss Du nodded and turned to leave.
Li Yang suddenly said, "Wait a moment, Boss Du, you can't just leave like this."
"Boss Li, what do you want to do?" Boss Du was startled.
Li Yang said loudly, "Fellow colleagues present, as everyone said earlier, given what happened, Boss Du should apologize to my girlfriend."
"He leaves without a single word of apology, isn't that a bit too easy?"
"Yes, Boss Du, you should apologize to her." The crowd nodded in agreement.
Some of these people were Luofu's people, but many were unaware of this scheme and had simply come to attend the wedding.
After all, no matter how powerful Luofu was, he couldn't buy off so many jade merchants.
Moreover, even if he could buy them off, he wouldn't inform them all from the start. If the news leaked, wouldn't it all be for naught?
As the saying goes, secrets cannot be kept successfully, that's the principle.
Boss Du's face turned somewhat dark. "I, I said it was just my eyes playing tricks. Boss Li, don't push it too far."
"Does Boss Du mean to say that if I were street racing and accidentally hit and killed someone, because I didn't intend to kill them at first, I could be considered innocent and not responsible?" Li Yang looked at him and said, "Or does it mean you have no remorse at all?"
"I,"
"What 'I,' Boss Du, just say something, are you going to apologize or not!" Li Yang questioned.
Boss Du's expression became increasingly unpleasant. A simple apology was easy, but saying it now would seem forced, meant to appease the crowd, and thus meaningless.
Moreover, he had lost face.
"Cough, cough," Luofu said, "Boss Li, everyone meeting is a form of fate. Give me some face, why don't we let it go?"
"Mr. Luo, are you implying that now that someone has questioned your wife's wedding dress as a fake, and after she has proven it to be genuine, no apology is needed?" Li Yang retorted.
Luofu's expression changed. "You, what do you mean by that?"
"My meaning is very simple, just one sentence: he must apologize to my woman!" Li Yang said resolutely.
"Otherwise, I can't help but suspect that your wife's wedding dress is also a knock-off!"
